I do happen to have a replacement spindle! But if I can replace that gear alone that would be nice. I haven't had a chance to dig into the specs yet

I bought a replacement spindle from him 'cause 4 of my back gear teeth were broken. It's not a terrible job to replace. Keep track of how many turns the adjustment screw on the back gear ass'y is turned out. As I noted in the link in post 13, I changed the drive to a serpentine belt at the same time.

Felts ordered, woohoo. Next, oils (er, maybe come next pay day).
I found the photo of the modified lead screw hanger so that it would fit the shaft adapter and the pulley.

Remind me again what that's for?
Bottomless pit really. Rabbits occasionally come up for air.
Oh and here's the way I mounted the motor. Cast two identical brackets. Slotted the holes for belt tightening.

no problems... just challenges
I would have to revisit the video to confirm...

Ahhh the money hole, I see it now.
Good to see you got it in place.
Don't thank us just yet, the ulterior motive is that now we also get to help spend your money, LOL 😀

Good news, the three jaw chuck came off with zero complaints.
Popped the DIY belt guard off for a closer look and the weird motor mount may also have been done for clearance between the belt guard and the back gear lever. With how wobbly that whole assembly is I definitely plan to see if it can be mounted differently (would likely need a different length belt).

Oils ordered too, so one more thing underway. While I wait for felts and oils I'll start some partial disassembly and trying to get the motor shenanigans explored.

Well unfortunately they rejected my account request!
Apply again and I'll look for it.

"False info" in my account request. No response yet to my follow up. Here's hoping.
